Aubo Robotics USA. Inc.

Headquartered in Cookeville, Tennessee, SwitchWeld is redefining what’s possible in welding automation. SwitchWeld is a brand born from the belief that the tools of tomorrow should work seamlessly with the realities of today’s fabrication shop floor. Since 2015, their mission has been to create collaborative welding solutions that anyone—from a small-town shop to a large-scale manufacturer—can use to boost productivity, cut costs, and solve labor shortages. To learn more about welding cobots, read the Ultimate Guide to Welding Cobots here.

SwitchWeld is backed by the advanced robotic technology of its partner company, AUBO Robotics, and everything they do is engineered specifically for manufacturing. Their cobot systems are built with welders in mind—no complex programming, no unnecessary barriers, just real solutions for real shops.

A Welding Cobot That Works Like You Do

What makes SwitchWeld different? Their systems combine precision-calibrated cobots with powerful, intuitive welding tools. You don’t need to know how to program. Their patented system allows users to teach weld paths by hand, easily switch between MIG and plasma cutting, and get up and running within hours—not weeks.

From portable, benchtop units to full 7-axis cells for welding trailers, dumpsters, structural builds, and more, SwitchWeld offers the most complete cobot welding portfolio on the market. And with one of their solutions priced under $50,000, even smaller shops can automate like a big player.

Field-Tested. Fabricator-Proven.

By 2016, their cobot welding systems were already in use in high-demand environments like Navy shipbuilding. At FABTECH 2018, SwitchWeld made headlines as the only welding cobot on the show floor. They weren’t just showing off their product—they were setting the standard for modern welding automation.

Today, SwitchWeld holds a majority of the patents in cobot welding automation and continues to innovate. Their clients regularly report over 6x increases in productivity, fewer errors, and far less operator fatigue.

Made Possible by AUBO

Founded in 2010 at the University of Tennessee, AUBO Robotics is a global leader in collaborative robotics. Known for their open-architecture and easy-to-use cobots, AUBO has grown from research roots into a powerhouse—now selling more than 15,000 units annually. Their reliable robotic arms power SwitchWeld’s hardware, giving their systems the best of both worlds: precision motion from AUBO and welding expertise from SwitchWeld.

Outside of welding, AUBO continues to innovate with palletizing cobots and flexible automation tools that reduce costs and training time across industries.

Why Small Shops Choose SwitchWeld

SwitchWeld was built with small and midsize manufacturers in mind. They know what it’s like to face tight deadlines, skilled labor shortages, and production bottlenecks. That’s why their systems are:

  • Safe: No fencing or cages required
  • Simple: Teach positions manually, no code needed
  • Fast: Setup in hours, not days
  • Affordable: ROI often under a year
  • Local Support: Support is based in Tennessee

Whether you're welding handrails or trailer frames, SwitchWeld puts modern automation within your reach—without the complexity or cost of traditional robotic systems.

Let’s Weld Smarter

SwitchWeld believes that automation shouldn’t replace people—it should empower them. With SwitchWeld, you're not just getting a cobot; you're getting a welding partner that makes your team better, faster, and more efficient.
